Guest Kidd Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 So I finally after over a year of initially reading about Sarah got my BG2 on, and I've been enjoying this a lot so far ^_^x Using the Sarah ToB beta here, with your 2.2 hotfix (which I didn't read what it actually fixed since I'm scared of spoilers, but I figure it will be needed ). I just cleared out the sewers of Athkatla last night and everything was working fine then from what I remember. Sadly, my memory is a bit fussy, so here goes... From memory, I installed W_GUI only to see it aligned erroneously due to the widescreen patch (not that I figured that out until just a few moments ago). So I uninstalled it: ~SARAHTOB/SETUP-SARAHTOB.TP2~ #0 #0 // Sarah NPC Romance Mod for BG2:ToB: Beta 2.0 // Recently Uninstalled: ~W_GUI/SETUP-W_GUI.TP2~ #1 #0 // W_GUI (that's the last two parts of my weidu file) That shouldn't have done anything to Sarah, I really don't see why it would have since I didn't have any GUI mods installed earlier and thus this would be the first mod of its kind - meaning it wouldn't need to do any backtrace reinstalling, right? I certainly don't remember it doing anything... and my adventure in the sewers was after that I think, actually I'm pretty sure. And I don't remember Sarah having any issues down there, she worked just fine, but perhaps she didn't? :\ And then when I booted up the game today, some of her sounds were myseriously missing. It's like, if I initiate talks with her, her selection sound comes up and works fine. But if I actually select her, she won't talk like the other characters do (so it shouldn't be a problem with my game settings since when I hit 1-2-3-4 on my keyboard, every character including charname uses a selection sound, yet #3 - Sarah - doesn't sound at all). Actually, every now and then, she will play a sound, but it usually skips the entire first half of the sound if it does, and it's actually very rare that I get that at all.... but it does happen. Her action sounds appear more commonly and I haven't heard any of them coming up just as halves, but they skip sometimes as well for no apparant reason. The actual her so to speak seems to function just fine though, it's just the soundset o_Ox What's weird is that I don't really understand how this can be an issue with the actual mod or weidu - it shouldn't be - but uh... since the other characters sound fine, including charname who has custom voicing herself, I really have no idea what else to try I can live with this issue I suppose, but I'd rather not to Any ideas whatsoever, whether actually mod-related or not, would be very welcome! ^_^x; Full weidu, if it's at all relevant: // Log of Currently Installed WeiDU Mods // The top of the

Guest Kidd Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Figured it out. Just like I was feeling, it wasn't an issue related to the mod It's a soundcard issue actually. I usually use a bluetooth-based soundcard, but this morning I was using my built-in soundcard, which after some testing now appears to be incompatible with whatever way you've encoded your voicing. I dunno how this could happen, I thought BG2 "interpretted" sound files and then outputted everything in one, single stream, but perhaps this isn't the case and it actually uses system codecs? Weird, dunno why it works (doesn't work?) this way, but every time I use my bluetooth soundcard, the sound comes out fine. If I turn the game off, switch to my internal soundcard without rebooting and boot up the game I'm greeted by the issue I mentioned above. I've tried going back and forth several times, it's always the same, so it's not random. So basically, the sound files are somehow incompatible with the built-in soundcard in the MSI Wind netbook I suppose. I've got the latest drivers from MSI, too :\ Any other Wind users feel like chiming in with any conflicting reports? So here we go! Time to go continuing my adventuring with Sarah! Link to comment
theacefes Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but one tip I have is to make sure Tweaks is installed last. Also, all the sounds are ogg to wav if you're curious. Link to comment
Guest Kidd Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I do wonder.. if it's just ordinary wav... why does Sarah's wavs have problems on my built-in soundcard but no other wavs? o_Ox Link to comment
theacefes Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 No clue. Works fine on mine but I don't have a netbook. Link to comment
